i throw up in my mouth a little whenever im forced to use the "t" word.
that said, i have a 590 w/ the bayo lug. why? because its fucking cool as shit. thats why. its not at all practical, and i would never try to convince anyone as such, but it does look badass.
other than that, although i dont have any of the side saddle or any other shell carriers on mine, i do see them as a very wise addition. when you grab a pistol, you can grab an extra mag or 2 and throw them in your pocket. i know i have extra loaded mags sitting next to my defense pistols. same goes for a rifle, ar, ak, or whatever. not to mention, even without an extra mag, that ar or ak already has 30 rnds loaded in it. the shotgun, otoh, if one plans on using it in a defensive situation, they never have them laying around with a stack of extra shells, and even if they did, grabbing all of those loose shells and trying to stuff them in your pocket would be clumsy and impractical, at best. add to that that the average shotgun dosent hold too many rounds to start with , having a few extras on the gun, ready to go is not a bad idea.
its not "tactical", its "practical"
